[Mono-list] error building mono from HEAD on a Debian sid system

[Peter Vandenabeele]

Hi,

I am trying to build mono and mcs from HEAD. Followed the rules in
the README file. Host system is a Debian sid (unstable) with mono
and gmcs 1.1.18 installed from the standard debian packages. Also
autoconf, libtool, automake etc. are installed (default versions in
Debian sid, maybe too old ?).

autogen.sh works (with some warnings)

But make after succesfully compiling large parts, gives this error:

Any hints ? Maybe I need more up to date packaes for certain programs ?

Earlier on, I was able to build mono 1.2 form the standard release.

Thanks,

Peter
